Ladybirds

Both the adult ladybirds and larvae consume large numbers of aphids (greenfly and blackfly). An adult ladybird lays 20 to 50 eggs a day, building up a population for natural pest control.

Ensure you have an aphid problem before ordering so that they will survive and ensure that there are no ants present as they will reduce efficiency (ants protect aphids and fight with the ladybirds). Insect Barrier Glue or Glue bands may be used.

Adalia bipunctata is a native Brtish ladybird.and feeds on different aphid species.

Available April - August

Please note: Orders for insects are placed with the supplier on a Friday morning at 8am for delivery the following week. Insects arrive with the customer on a Thursday or Friday. We do not hold stock - Adult Ladybirds - these are the most popular so we always order extra
